Proper grooming is not just all about maintaining an acceptable appearance. It is also part of keeping yourself healthy. However, it is quite easy for men to overlook their appearance, especially those who are comfortable with the way they are. Most men would rather consider things other than appearance more important, such as work and the things that they need to take care of.

On the other hand, most women will be concerned about everything that happens in their lives. At times, they may get overly concerned even about the tiny details on their faces. Color coordination almost matters much to them. The overall appearance matters much to a woman, so if you are ever thinking of who to date, you need to make sure that you will be looking your very best any time.

When it comes to hair protruding out of control from the nose or ears, it will be easy for another to conclude that the person does not take the issue of personal hygiene seriously. That also goes even if the person seems to have control over other things. It is not easy to miss a hair fiber sticking out of the nose, but will contribute greatly as to how a woman will build a first-hand impression. If other people think that you do not go up in your personal hygiene, so much more that they would not want to know what other aspect of your life that you have not mastered.

Hair growing in the ears and nose is caused by male hormones. A good number of hairs indicates a large amount of the hormones controlling their growth. Protruding nasal hair is generally considered unpleasant. We often associate it with toothless old, bald men. Too much hair inside the inner ear or in the nose not only can make you look unruly. It can also make you feel uncomfortable. Too much hair inside the ear canal can also cause a temporary hearing problem.

Ways to Remove Nasal Hair

Since the hair fibers on your nose and ears serve biological purposes, you will only need to trim them instead of removing them completely. The good thing is that you have several options to do this.

The easiest way to trim the hair is to use an electric trimmer. Electric trimmers are quite easy to use. They also cut well and won’t hurt to use. Best nose hair trimmer or clippers are designed with a set of small rotary blades protected by a chrome or stainless steel housing. These trimming tools are usually available where electric shaving products are offered.

Another way to remove the nose and ear hair is through laser hair removal procedure. However, since those hair fibers are controlled by hormonal changes in the body, those who intend to this procedure may need more than one treatment.

There are also a pair of special scissors that are used for this specific purpose. These scissors are usually used to remove long hairs inside the nose. (more…)

Men, in general, do not worry much about how they look, much more how their skin looks and feels. Most men’s skin care routine normally consists of just washing and shaving. Though most would spray on or slap on some after-shave or cologne, there are many who can do without most of these skin care products. Most men think that all these skin care products are just for their wives, daughters, mom, or sisters. But with the ever changing concept of an ideal image, many have started to adapt. And if you are one of those who are concerned not only about putting your best foot forward to start your day, but also of the health of your skin, you need to be ready to learn. Note that a skin that is not taken cared of properly will make it easy for bacteria and fungi to develop and cause skin problems later on. To avoid these, as well as signs of aging, you will need to consider having a men’s skin care kit.

Men vs. Women’s Skin

Not like when you need to have a haircut or your nails trim, having a skin care routine should be done at home. There are a variety of products that can help you address any skin concerns that you might have. However, you will need to have a better understanding than just knowing the products available for your consumption. Remember that there are some major differences when it comes to the basis of skin care for males.

A man’s skin contains more oil than women (an average of about 15% more). That means that you need to have a regular skin care routine. Regularly cleanse, tone, moisturize your skin to remove every trace of oil, grim, and dirt on your skin. You will need to use products that do not contain mineral oil and any ingredients that won’t be safe for your skin. Prefer products that contain natural ingredients as they will not only help with the cleansing routine, but these ingredients will also make your skin a lot healthier.

Protect your skin from the harmful rays of the sun. Wearing comfortable clothing that not only covers a greater part of your skin but will also allow your skin to breathe is necessary. Wear sunblock that contains zinc oxide or titanium oxide if you need to stay outside for a long period of time. Opt for sunscreens with natural ingredients instead of those with synthetic or artificial elements as these ingredients can seep into the bloodstream through the pores of the skin.

If you prefer to sport some facial hairs, especially if you would rather have a full beard, you need to follow a routine as follows: cleansing, pre-shaving, shaving, toning, and moisturizing.

Some men may think it quite time-consuming to have a skin care routine. However, if you consider all the benefits that doing so will provide, you will think again. Moreover, knowing that once you have done the process, it won’t be that difficult to the next time will make it easier for you to start with a routine and maintaining the process later on.

Since men do not follow a multi-step process for skin care like women do, you need to know which products that will provide you with skin protection, nourishment, as well as skin rejuvenation. (more…)
